Was the Stryker not introduced to give riflemen something to ride around in that wasn't a glorified car? I thought the goal of the Stryker was to deploy a reasonably armored vehicle that could transport a squad to battle almost as fast as an armored car, but with greater protection. Are people claiming it is shit because it can't do that or because there are other vehicles that can do it better? I would think any upgrade from the Humvee would be a good one just because it isn't a damn car even if it isn't quite on par with rival designs.
>>
>>33697814
For the stryker at least, the autocannon turret is a completely self contained module that can be slapped onto any existing stryker. Because the turret assembly doesn't extend down into the actual hull of the vehicle, it's easily replaceable and doesn't compromise troop carrying capacity.
>>
>>33699174
Yeah, the Stryker is essentially a battle taxi, given the bare minimum of armor to repel shrapnel and HMG rounds and meant to get a light infantry unit to the frontlines as quickly as possible.

Then people started complaining that it didn't have MBT levels of protection, which is the curse all western APCs and IFVs must suffer.

The Stryker is really good in the combined arms it enables. A Stryker can carry a full 9 man infantry squad, as opposed to the 6 men the Bradley carries. The other Strykers allow heavy weaponry to be carried even down at the company level, with each company having 2x 120mm mortar carriers and 3x 105mm gun armed MGS vehicles. In every single rifle company in the SBCT. That's a whole lot of boom. It also provides infantry with the tactical mobility they lack when legbound, but are more armored than when stuck in trucks and humvees.

Stryker pros/cons.... mind you I served as both a Stryker Master Trainer (what is now Stryker Master Gunner) and Stryker instructor with 1-29 IN at Fort Benning, GA. I also participated in developing and updating doctrine for Stryker Brigade Combat Teams through the Office of the Chief of Infantry at Fort Benning and then as a contractor/consultant after leaving the Army. Some of the Pro/Con are doctrine related and more of a "Big Army" issue (ie, funding, development, follow through...) then a platform specific issue.

PRO:
-role specific variants allow entire unit to be mobile and reasonably protected against similar threats on the battlefield
-M1126 ICV can transport rifle squad and RWS can provide fire support with infantry rifle company organic weapons (ie, M2 and Mk-19)
-reasonable ballistic protection against 14.5mm projectiles (non AP) and air burst 152mm artillery
-CBRN protection for crew and dismounts
-FBCB2 capability
-common parts for the majority of Stryker systems reduces logistics problems
-barely capable of transport by air force to theater

CON:
-maintenance intensive (especially hubs planetary gear inspection and lubrication in muddy/wet terrain)
-delay in heavy weapon upgrades for M1126 RWS ie, 30mm autocannon (finally in 2016...!) or standoff attack with the Javelin mount (pic related)
-up-armoring adds additional weight which limits mobility in certain off road terrain conditions
-IED vulnerability
-emerging threats on the battlefield outpacing Stryker variants upgrade and development (especially active defenses)


An issue is most people are comparing apples to oranges when discussing Stryker vs "Threat XYZ". For example, "Stryker MGS sucks against T-72" but US Army doctrine defines the role of MGS as an infantry support asset against light and medium armored threats such as BMP, BDRM and it is not intended to engage heavily armored threats such as tanks (that would be the job of the M1134 ATGM variant).

>What would you say about all the complaints that the Stryker is underpowered? I'm surprised you didn't mention it.

This is a common issue across several mechanized/motorized platforms in the US Army inventory (Stryker, Bradley, MRAP's to name a few). The Stryker power performance was degraded with the addition of more armor increasing weight and ground pressure and it struggles in sustained hill climbing. A proposed workaround at one point was a new powerpack increasing HP and torque but it was rejected because the data "suggested" stryker performed satisfactorily over "average terrain" rather than "extreme terrain" conditions.

>Is that particular to the 3.5 suspension variants or does it include the newer 5.5/6.0?

Its universal and has to deal with the hub lubrication access points and the poor seal allowing water and silt to enter the planetary gear during operations in wet/muddy terrain. Pic related is the wheel hub oil level window and the bolts that need to be removed to drain, flush and fill the hub planetary gear. Failure to ensure adequate lubrication (especially when the oil turns milky/colored vs clear) results in premature failure of the gears and hub fires. Oh... and the hubs contain magnesium alloy... and they catch fire quickly... so yeah good luck putting that fire out.

The striker was supposed to be fit around the striker brigade doctrine, which itself was part of the future soldier program. The idea was that you had hyper coordination armed light infantry with HUDs and all that smart tech shit mated with Strykers that also had all that high tech shit AND also having all the different variants (apc , command and control, mgs, tank destroyer, mortar carrier) tracking the infantry at all times to support them as the infantry leveraged their mobility. At the end of the day however, only the Stryker APC and MGS remained of the entire concept, rendering the vehicle pointless

It really activates the ol' almonds how the military has kept in service an interim vehicle for over a decade now.

lol dude, quantity your remark with some anecdotes at least.

What makes a heavily armed and armored tracked IFV with a sweet thermal camera worse than a fucking wheeled tractor with a shitty ass .50 on a remote mount?

Really? What protection does a Stryker have against a TOW-2 ATGM now in the possession of every sand nigger in the Middle East since the Neo-Cohens opted to dispose of Assad?

>thermals don't always work

>Turret cramped, gun malfunctions constantly
>Armor so shitty, they not only bolted on Extra Armor to the outside, but to the INSIDE as well
>Speaking of armor, Lol not only no V-Hull, but the Ammo Storage for the vehicle is, you may have guessed, on the floor under the Passenger Ramps/ Seating, as well as the Driver sitting next to 2000+ rounds of 7.62.

The amount of shit that ends up just not working (not for lack of maintenance or it being intentionally broken from misuse, etc) is absolutely mindblowing. I've had BAE Contractors tell me "that cannot be broken in X way", then watch the horror come across their face as they realize it is indeed broke. This has happened with so many different parts/ systems it's hard to name them all: Radio Mounts, the 25mm, the turret drive and electrical systems, the IBAS, the FS3 (Fire Support System for the Forward Observer Bradleys) etc.

At the end of the Day, at least the Stryker is a true IFV, meant to taxi a full squad to the fight (instead of lol 4-6 in a Bradley), and not a thinly armored Pseudo-Tank.

How did we go from this?

To a fucking light armed APC with a 50 caliber gun?

Why didn't we just upgrade the damn LAV-25?

Everything about the Stryker program sucks stinks of Bush-Cheney era defense contractor chicanery and embezzlement.

Those sound mostly like problems of the age of the Bradley program. I doubt the Strykers are going to be in better shape in 25 years.

The Army should have just got the CV-90 but with a 30 mm Bushmaster gun.

It's just so perfect?

Any opinions on this vehicle?
>>
>>33702528
lav-25 was inherited through canada
we built our own giving general dynamics something to do
stryker is a solid apc and isn't just armed with .50 M2
if anything we need more of them in order to make mixed abram/bradley/stryker brigades

That's not actually true.

Math relies on 'self evident or intuitive assumptions'

Why does 1=1? Simple. A variable is defined such that it MUST equal itself. And 2 is defined to equal 1 + 1 there is no other reason for it to be such other than its definition.

1 + 1 = 2 is no different than a + b = c

It is simply definition.

Can you actually find an example of 1 + 1 = 2? You can be a smart ass, but in the real universe no you cannot.

Tldr math is an abstraction based on arbitrary 'intuitive' assumptions.

BTW not the faggot saying truth isn't real, just a guy who used to like pure math, until I learned at its most basic form. Math is philosophy. Just some food for though, or you can think about it while on the shitter.

>>
>>33704132
math is based on numbers that we defined you blithering idiot, we define various sets of numbers and then perform operations on them

'show me 1+2 that exists in the real world' doesnt even make any sense, its not even the same context what so ever.
>>
>>33704154
Did you not understand a single word I said? Jesus.

This is probably as dumb as I can put it for your mentally invalid ass:

Everything in math is an abstracting based on 'intuitive' assumptions. As such math is not objective because in order to 'prove math' you end up back at the initial assumptions.

The definition of numbers is arbitrary.

Why not just buy LAV III's? That's basically what the Stryker is.
>>
>>33702528
They aren't the same thing at all. LAV-25s don't carry a full squad of infantry. The Army wanted something that could carry an entire squad.

technically what youre trying to say is that theyre just symbols with a systematic definition and while we're at that yes they are absolute truths in the represented system which is why it is so deep and interesting when we say that the universal language of the universe is math.
let me translate so you can understand: go fuck your hat

What's so bad about the Stryker? It seems like a fine medium APC that can hump troops around and give a bit of fire support? What else do US army infantry have for ground transport? The Bradley carries like 5 infantry on a good day, and the humvee is fairly lightly protected and small as well compared to the Stryker.

is it really true that the Bradley can't even have its ATGMs deployed while on the move because the bracket that holds them is so weak, and will just break if you hit a bump while its extended?

Already outdated, should be replaced by a tracked IFV

No, I imply that I don't care about epistemological wanking. You can bemoan how untrustworthy your senses are, but when it comes time to level that picture, you'll grab the laser or bubble level just like the rest of us and go about your day.

Fucking this. In a discussion essentially grounded in interaction with the perceivable reality around us in the extreme (warfare application), there's no damn place for "what do we really know?" Shitwanking. Bombs explode, bullets penetrate, the physical is real. So you have to operate in that reality. Or you can try to debate with the landmine you just stepped on if it "really" just blew your fucking legs 20 yards thataway.
